eCite Training
About
The Center for Advanced Public Safety (CAPS) developed electronic citation software, eCite, and did the first beta deployment in 2003. The software was gradually deployed in the beginning as more testing was done. In the summer of 2007 all Alabama state troopers were trained on eCite. Then e-Cite deployments and training focused on municipal agencies. Over 500 Alabama agencies have been deployed and over 1500 officers have been e-Cite trained in Alabama.
